Setting up BT using MS stack under windows 7 x32 - caveman - 03-01-2010
I’ve received my generic BT usb stick last Friday and I’m getting very frustrated with it, because it takes me about 5-10 minutes to get it working with MS BT stack each time a reboot the system. The BT was recognized as CSR Radio or something with a few other BT devices. These are the steps I perform to get my wiimote working under dolphin.
1) From BT menu I click on add a device and at the same time I press 1+2 on wiimote, than sometimes win7 finds a device and assign proper name to it.
2) Than I do pair without assigning pairing number, and if everything goes well I get HID driver successfully installed and it is ready to use or not successfully installed.
3) If 2) is unsuccessful I remove the device and I perform 1) and 2) again until it works.
4) Then I open the dolphin, I go to dolphin wiimote setup and I’m able to pair the device (quick rumble on the remote).
5) After that everything seems to be working, except I get sporadic (annoying) wiimote disconnect messages.
Next time I reboot my system I can see Wiimote still under BT devices, but wiimote doesn’t want to pair up in the dolphin. I can see windows 7 is trying to install driver for it, but it fails…. So I go thru 1-3 again….
Am I doing something wrong?
I’ve read somewhere that I should the Radio driver to MS Wireless Tranceiver for BT (option 3 afterwards)?
Some people buy BS to get it working?
Why is the wiimote disconnecting during the game play (i.e. Mario karts)?

You always need a valid pairing... rebooting or removing the batteries out of your wiimote makes your pairing invalid @msstack. Im not sure if its possible to force a static pairing under bluesoleil/toshiba stack, i rather dont think so.
However, if the device got unpaired, you will either have to remove the bluetooth device and add it again with the procedure u already described above 1-3.
Or your econd option (the route I prefer) would be to start up dolphin and go straight into the wiimote plugin, pressing 1+2 on your wiimote and then pressing the pair up button @wiimote plugin.
After a few seconds the button gets ungrayed and you have to press the button "refresh wiimotes" et voila, your done. The wiimote counter should increase.
That way you dont need to remove the device manually each time u loose the pairing, BUT if your wiimote gets unpaired while your playing (for example due low battery), youll always have to close dolphin first and then start it again, before u try the "pairup" routine above again. (Sometimes it needs a 2nd go)
good luck

@Shez
Thank you, I'll try your recommandation to pair up wiimote within Dolphin. As for disconnections I do not think it is low battery problem, perhaps my el cheapo BT is acting up.
